Goddess, Inflamed (Goddess Connection #2) by Cate Masters
I am so in love with this series. I love the characters and the way the various other entities interact with them. They are all brought into the modern world and to life with such amazing personalities and motivations. Lily is a dancer - yes the exotic type that uses a pole. But she doesn't do it just because it's a good way to make money. The music calls to her and if she doesn't dance she will probably go crazy. Her life changes on her 21st birthday when some very interesting men enter her life.
Brodie and Zev are about as different as they could possible be. It's to be expected when one is an angel and the other a demon. But they both want Lily. She is a very special person with some tough decisions to make. As her life is turned upside down, she is thrown into a spiral of confusion that was incredibly well written. She knows what she wants to decide, she just needs to find the courage to do so - and stay out of all the traps set to keep her where she doesn't want to be.
There were lots of surprises in this book as her lineage is slowly revealed. I loved exploring all the skeletons in the closet of Hades' and Persephone's family. There are quite a few of them, and we all love a good bit of juicy gossip. The end was a fantastic adventure with just enough action to get my heart racing paired with some wonderful moments of true love.
The characters in the series are so real, I almost expect to run into them on the street some day. It just seems natural that they are a part of the "real world" and we just don't know it yet.
